Pros

Good benefits and career / salary potential

Cons

Please read the intellectual property agreement very carefully. If signed, the agreement I was given basically would have given Vanguard perpetual rights to any current or future invention / innovation I discovered if Vanguard ever so happened to pursue a similar business venture beyond the scope of financial services.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
